I am redoing a kids rocking chair for my daughter. This is a similar project, I am painting the wood on the chair and recovering the seat.

Pinterest projects

A few weeks ago the MOPS mammals and I decide to get our Pinterest on. If you live under a rock Pinterest is a land of stepford wives, crafting, cooking and decorating. (But I digress) 

Here's the project:

Supplies needed:

-dollies

-fabric paint

-sponge or sponge brush

-canvas bag

-letter stencils 

-cardboard for inside the bag (to prevent bleeding though)

Step 1:

Gather all your supplies, lay everything out and place cardboard inside your bag

Step 2:

Place your doily in the desired location on your bag 

Step 3:

sponge paint onto bag around the edges. Make sure that you start out lightly with very little paint and build to desired coverage. ( I had to go back and grab a pic of this step)

Step 4:

Remove doily and place letter inside stenciled area. Repeat the same paint processes as before.

Final product:

 

Super cute and fun right?
